This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central.com. I mentioned yesterday that the Quran has been described with three states meaning

three Ahual in the Aya of Ramadan. The first of them was guidance for humanity,

Huda Linnas.

I talked to you yesterday about what Hal means also, what it can signify.

Today I'm going to talk to you about the second piece of this Aya, which is very significant.

He says, Wabaiyinatim, we al-Hudah which is you can translate it as

clear proofs from within the guidance and that sounds a little bit obscure when you say

that in English clear proofs from within the guidance imam razzi even asked a question that somebody could say, well,

Allah already said guidance for humanity.

And what's the point of saying proofs from within the guidance?

It's basically saying the same thing.

So why even repeat that phrase?

Because it stands on its own, it has its own purpose.

The thing is, there's one thing to offer somebody direction,

to say, if you want to go to that destination

take this turn stay right go down this mile miles take this turn etc and you'll get to

where you need to go that's giving people guidance but if somebody says, you're telling me to take this road and you want me to get to that destination, but what's your proof that this is the right road? I need evidence. I don't know if I can rely on your directions. Is that a reliable source?

In other words, it's one thing to give somebody guidance.

It's another to convince them that this is the right guidance.

Convincing someone that this is the path that they should follow is here.

It's an intellectual thing. So for human beings that genuinely want guidance for their hearts,

Allah is offering that to them.
